PREFACE

ROMINENT PEOPLE" is designed by the publishers to
provide a record of the men and women who, in one capacity
or another, are contributing to and making possible the
growth and development of the Maritime Provinces. In
former times the history of a country could be traced in
the biographies of its great men; but in these days of
democratic institutions and universal franchise, the true
history of a country is the record of the masses, for it is the masses who, through
their representatives and by their individual services and sacrifices, give to a
country a noble or ignoble place among the nations.

Public memories, sometimes, are short-lived, and history records only
the names of those who stand out most prominently in the great events of the
times. The aim of "Prominent People" is to create a lasting memorial not
only for the great men, but also for those lesser personages in all walks of life
who, by their toil and sacrifices, are laboring for the advancement of the
Maritime Provinces, and are the real moulders of their destinies. The publica-
tion of such a work is especially appropriate at this time to commemorate
the services rendered both at home and abroad by so many of our men and
women during the recent Great War, in the interests of the Empire and the
cause of democracy throughout the world.

This book is not designed as a work of praise, but of facts. One's educa-
tion, professional or business training and experiences and status in the com-
munity are facts which no man or woman should hesitate to see in print, and
which the public have a right to know.

The book will have a value for the historian quite beyond its use as a
current work of reference. It is hoped it will do its part in making all the sons
and daughters of these three Provinces better known to each other, and will
give a bird's-eye view of their usefulness and contribution to the confederated
Provinces of the Dominion.

Considerable care has been taken to secure accuracy, but if mistakes
occur as they are liable to occur in a work of this nature we shall be grateful
if they are called to our attention so that they may be rectified in future editions.

PROMINENT PEOPLE OF THE MARITIME PROVINCES

After managing historic Mechanic's In-
stitute (otherwise known as York Theatre
and the Nickel) for the Keith-Albee
interests for seven years, the American
lessees were induced by their local
representative to erect a modern com-
bination theatre on King Square, sub-
sequently known as the Imperial Theatre,
which worthily succeeds the famous
Lanergan's Lyceum, famed in the fifties
and sixties for the players of international
repute who treaded its stage whilst
enjoying summer vacations, an idea that
met with much favor amongst the great
actors and actresses of America, and
naturally a delight to the people of this
section of Canada. During the Great
War the Imperial Theatre aptly lived
up to its name in war work, being devoted
almost continually to recruiting efforts,
fund raising, entertainments and mass
meetings addressed by federal ministers
and traveling notables. During an in-
fluenza epidemic, when theatres were
closed, it assisted in selling $100,000
worth of Victory Bonds. In 1913, Mr.
Golding went to Vancouver, B. C., as
an advertising man to prepare and place
systematic publicity for a town site
located in the northern part of the
Province on the new Grand Trunk
Pacific line. This campaign entailed a
large expenditure and covered the Met-
politan press of United States and
Canada. Other lines of publicity handled
by Mr. Golding have been personal
electoral campaigns of two federal mini-
sters in his native New Brunswick, drives
for philanthropic objects, and for a num-
ber of years the preparation and placing
of copy for the St. John Exhibition.

and generation. The father died in
1861, when the subject of our sketch was
barely three years old, but his mother
survived till 1915. His education was ob-
tained in the Common and High Schools
of Truro, and afterward he was actively
engaged in mercantile pursuits for a
period of twenty years. Turning atten-
tion to the newspaper field, he became
managing director of the "Colchester
Sun," and also the "Truro Citizen," the
fortunes of which were ably managed
for a period of five years. During a life-
time spent in his native town, he has
always been keenly interested in all
movements for its development and
prosperity, and for twenty years was
prominently identified with the political
history of Colchester Co. In 1887 he
organized the Truro Board of Trade,
which still flourishes, and has be-
come a recognized factor in the growth
and development of the town. As an
active promoter of the Truro Amateur
Athletic Association in 1890 there was
secured an athletic grounds unsurpassed
in Eastern Canada, and which by deed
has recently been vested in the town, for
the sole use and benefit of the youth of
Truro for all time. In 1913, upon the
death of the then collector, he was ap-
pointed as his successor, Collector of
Customs and Excise for the Port of
Truro, since which time he has dis-
charged the duties attaching thereto
with an eminent degree of success. For
upwards of a score of years Mr. Hall has
been prominently associated with the
various orders of Masonry in the town
of Truro.

Fletcher, Mar. 10, 1873. Educated Free
Church Academy, Gerrish St., Halifax.
Spent the three years following his
graduation as book agent, clerk and other
business occupations; later decided to
study law and was articled to a prac-
tising barrister at Halifax; called to the
Bar Dec. 31, 1870; practised for a number
of years in Halifax, then moved to
Bridgetown, Annapolis Co., N. S.; en-
gaged for some years in promoting cheese
and butter factories, also organized a
company to carry on brick making at
Bridgetown, which later failed; promoted
the building of a railway from Middleton
through Granville on the north side of
the Annapolis River, under the North
Mountain to Port Wade, on the Anna-
polis Basin. Several years were spent in

the construction of this railway which
was later subsidized through the efforts
of Mr. Irvin by both the Dominion and
local governments. Although the com-
pany failed, the railway was completed,
chiefly through the efforts of Mr. Irvin,
and is a splendid thing for the country
through which it passes. It is now part
of the Canadian National Railways.
Later gave up promoting and applied
himself to the practice of law; was ap-

polis Co., 1906, which position he still
holds; appointed "One of His Majesty's

Chairman of the Commissioners ap-

until the town was incorporated, when
he was appointed Stipendiary Magis-
trate by the government for the Town
of Bridgetown, and still retains this
position. Has contributed many articles
to the press on the welfare and morals
of the community. About fifty years
ago when Nova Scotian law permitted
imprisonment for debt long after English
and American law had abolished it, Mr.
Irvin wrote a series of articles on the
subject which were published in the
Halifax Morning Chronicle for many
months, and which so aroused public
thought that imprisonment for debt
was abolished at the next session of the
House of Assembly. Mr. Irvin has
always taken a deep interest in the
early history of Nova Scotia, and has
contributed to the press a number of
articles on this subject. He has also
read several papers before the Historical
Society at Halifax, among which is one
on John Young, the first Secretary of
Agriculture for Nova Scotia, delivered
Feb. 25, 1908, and also one on the
History of Bridgetown, delivered Jan.
2, 1914. These papers created a great
deal of interest and were widely pub-
lished. Mr. Irvin is a Christian, but favors
no special creed. Address, Queen St.,

College, St. John, N. B. Born Truro,
N. S. To Miss Jean F. Johnson belongs
the unique distinction of being the first
woman to establish and successfully
operate a business college in Canada.
After finishing a thorough training in
business and stenography, she located
in Moncton, N. B., where she established
the Moncton Business College, starting
with one typewriter and only one pupil,
the attendance growing rapidly until,
within the last few years, it reached one
hundred students with the enrollment
still increasing, when, owing to ill health,
she was obliged to dispose of her school.
After a rest and recuperation, Miss
Johnson came to St. John, N. B., where
about two years ago, she established
Miss Johnson's Business College, the
name of which was recently changed to
The Standard Business College, now
located in the Standard Bank Building
on King St., one of the finest sited in
St. John. Business and professional men

have graduated from Miss Johnson's
institution in both business and stenog-
raphy and many of her graduates are
occupying splendid positions in Canada,
the United States and even in Cuba.

hours' sleep. He established ten relief
stations throughout the city to assist
in giving medical aid, food, clothing and
shelter to those affected by the terrible
catastrophe, while he and a telephone
operator stationed at City Hall directed
operations in a systematic manner.
